Advantage and disadvantage ng lowering spring

**A-Boy** · November 27th, 2004 06:24 AM

really? how can i lower the front of my car just .5 inch? hehe i live in a condo na sobrang steep ang incline to enter the parking lot. mahaba pa nguso ng oto ko ahead of the front tires kaya sigurado sayad everytime yung harap. i think yung mga rwd cars like benz and bm have short fronts that extend ahead of the front tires kaya mas hindi sumasayad yung harap.

lowering 0.5 inch?... personally it'll be too much of a bother to lower just 0.5 inch. You could close the gap between the wheel and fender by getting a taller tire size.

Or you can use the typical technique for lowered cars, diagonal approach on an incline.

Anyway, I kinda have the same problem with the condo where I live. I wanted to have a front chin-extension spoiler for my car but it would hit the ramp going to the parking.

So you want the "tukod" look? IMO you would have to sacrifice ride comfort when you do this.

unless you really are into drag-racing, I dont' think that it has any advantage (am referring to the tukod look).

well it has an advantage in looks.. astig e.. lalo na pag malaki yun mags sa likod and maliit sa harap.. ang ganda talaga.. ewan ko ha.. pero nagagandahan ako e.. yun nga lang taga makati ako and talagang hindi pwede sa road conditions dito.. example na lang yun riles sa buendia.. lalo na pag inabutan ng baha.. tsk tsk..

Thanks for your reply, siguro nga , the only advantage on lowering the front wheel (o tukod look) is the porma..hinde naman ako into the drag-racing..kaya lang,, really like those REVO i saw na naka-lowered ang harap nito.. ..isa pang hirit... gaano ba ang minimum na puede kong ibaba ang harapan nito? magkano naman kaya? ok..salamat ulit..

in my opinion, there are more disadvantages of having a lowered car. the only advantage that I saw when i had my civic lowered was it's look. but happy to note, my civic wasn't bouncy. Having lowered car will surely increase your expense, not only having it lowered, but other factors such as the suspensions and underchasis just to name a few.
